Houston Heights Healthcare Centre, which folks used to know as Winterhaven Healthcare Residence, sits at 6534 Stuebner Airline Rd, Houston, and covers a lot of ground when it comes to senior care, offering assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, hospice, independent living, respite stays, and even adult day care in one big high-rise community. People who move into the centre can get a private room with their own bathroom, TV, kitchenette, air conditioning, phone, and Wi-Fi, so there's a real effort put toward having a homelike feel while keeping basic comforts. There's a 24-hour call system, meals served restaurant-style-with help for diabetes and food restrictions-and the rooms come fully furnished, with laundry and housekeeping included, which sure helps folks relax and not worry about chores.
Care at Houston Heights Healthcare Centre covers a lot, starting with assisted living where staff help with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's help for folks who can't walk or need more supervision. The centre also runs skilled nursing and rehab for people with big health needs, and the nurses are there all day, usually 12-16 hours, with more staff on for emergencies. There's a whole section built for memory care, meant for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and the staff working in that part are trained for memory support and keeping people safe, running memory activities, and working with a gently structured schedule inside a secure part of the building. For families who take care of an older loved one at home, the centre offers short respite stays so caregivers can get a break.
The place has a good list of things to do, like planned trips, music nights, movies, crafts, and there's a beauty salon, fitness room, games, a small library, and even a garden with paths for walking. The centre keeps a wellness center going and runs community transportation, which helps everyone get out and about. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a range of daily activities mean folks aren't bored, and there's even pet care, housekeeping, and tutoring programs offered for residents, showing they try to consider everyday needs.
Safety's a focus with an emergency alert system and no reports of severe deficiencies on inspections. Even though recent ratings give the whole place a D, which signals some areas need big changes, the centre has a B grade for inspections and nearly every resident gets their pneumonia shots, so it's clear they're looking out for people's health. The centre takes Medicare and Medicaid, and works with Aetna Medicare Plan (HMO) and (PPO), giving folks different coverage choices.
The facility has programs and activities for mental support, runs resident and family councils to discuss concerns, and tries to keep a lively, comfortable feeling inside. It's set up as a for-profit limited liability company and is part of a community with lots of different people, so you find a bit of everything-high-rise city views, options for independent or assisted living, memory care, nursing, and hospice, all under Houston Heights Healthcare Centre's roof.
